Weapon seller in the world of magic

It was the first time Allen saw coldness from Lin Xue.

He was familiar with her cold personality but she never acted this way toward him. She was always warm and friendly.

He doesn’t know why she appeared angry.

Maybe, is it because he disturbed her when she was in the middle of some important issue.

Allen learned from Mark that he cannot just come to a conclusion based on a woman’s behavior. Analyzing won’t work for some women as their actions don’t have logic.

Allen wondered whether Lin Xue is one such woman.

As he was busy thinking about the perfect reply, Lin Xue then spoke, ”I asked you a question, Mr. Allen. Why are you here at this hour?”

”Mr. Allen?” The Android was surprised once again but remembering Mark’s teachings, he put away his analysis and went directly to the matter.

Trying to be as honest as possible, he explained, ”Sister Yue, I’m actually not sure about it. My big bro and the others have left the city and I was alone. You came to my mind and I felt like it has been a long time since we talk. So, I…”

”So, you thought you could just intrude into our residence, into my room, in the middle of the night, huh?” Lin Xue continued to respond to him coldly. After a brief pause, she further added a comment, ”No wonder you could do it. After all, you are a puppet, not a human. If you are one, you would be able to have a sense of decency that you shouldn’t intrude into a girl’s room at such an hour.”

”Eh? How did you…” Allen was shocked this time as Lin Xue wasn’t supposed to know his secret. But then, he remembered the fight with Necromancer and everything that happened with Alina and all.

He realized that maybe this is why she was angry at him.

Making an apologetic face, he said, ”I don’t mean to hide the truth from you. But, my big bro has ordered me to keep my secret and I don’t want to disappoint him.”

”I know. After all, you won’t hesitate to kill me if your big bro orders you,” replied the Lin Clan heiress, blaming Mark in her mind. She then said, ”Anyways, since you are already here, let me be clear. I no longer hold any interest in seeing you or holding any conversations with you. Leave this instant.”

”No, it is not true.” Allen tried to clear things up for his friend now that she knows his secret. ”The past me might kill you if I get an order. But, now, I’m upgraded several times. I can resist his order and you are a special person to me. There’s no way I will hurt you and let you get hurt if I had to oppose my big bro.”

Hearing his honest words only made Lin Xue more emotional. In her frustration, she growled at Allen, ”Why can’t you just understand my words properly? I don’t want to talk to you. I will shout if you stay here anymore. No matter how strong you are, people still think that you are the younger brother of Lu Zhen. His fame will be the one that gets hit. Your store’s fame will also get hit if they know you are abusing your strength to harass a woman.”

”Okay, I will leave as you wish and I don’t even show my face to you any longer. Don’t need to threaten me.” Allen raised his hands like he surrendered or something.

However, he didn’t turn and leave right away as he could sense her emotions through his hyper-sensing abilities.

Allen pressed her to convince him by arguing, ”I just needed an honest answer. Why? Is it really matter if I’m a puppet? Do I become ineligible to talk to you or become your friend? After my last upgrade, I can now fly and travel distances faster than a supersonic jet. I have all the emotions that any human on this planet has. I’m now strong enough to go toe to toe against any supreme realm expert.

I failed to protect you back then but if I face the Necromancer King again, I can defeat him. I can now even help you accomplish your dream. You can become one with the sword. I can scan the surroundings to spot any hidden treasures or mines. I can make the finest sword that a dwarf could ever make.

With my abilities, I can earn money more than all the noble clans combined. I’m better than 99.99999% of all the humans on this planet. And apart from once that happened as my big bro wanted you to stay away from his affairs, I had never mistreated you ever since we met.

Do all of my qualities amount to nothing if I don’t possess a human body and soul? I saved your life once. If you want to burn the bridges, then, give me the truth.”

Allen didn’t know it himself but he looked quite frustrated as he was explaining to Lin Xue. Did her rejection really vex him that much? Who knows…

However, Lin Xue was even more frustrated than him. In the end, she exploded as the tears welled up in her eyes, ”You want the truth, right? Then, hear it. I fell in love with you, bastard. And you turned out to be a fucking puppet. It is unbearable for me to even look at you. Can you understand what I am going through?

You have abilities? Okay, they might suit a bodyguard or an adventurer or some other profession. Sure, you can earn loads of money but can you really love someone? Can your heart beat for someone when you don’t even have a heart? Can you marry someone and have kids? Can a girl imagine a future with you?

Loving you is more disgusting than falling in love with an intelligent beast species. You are not even he or she. You are a thing. Now, you are a superfast analyzer, right?

Then, try to think how a girl like me should feel when she falls in love with someone for the first time in her life, she wanted to share her life with you and then finds out that it is nothing but an illusion.

Now, do you get it? Get it?”

She almost roared at his face, looking at him in deep hatred while waking up everyone from the household.

As people rushed to her room, Allen stood there like a statue. He was truly shocked to hear it.

He doesn’t have any personal experience but he does see what it means by falling in love and what it means by imagining a future together. His master’s love for Song Yue is the best example of that.

As Lin Xue collapsed on the floor and bawled as if her beloved died or something, Allen looked at her in a daze and mumbled without knowing, ”So, everything is going to be alright between us if I become a human?”

Lin Xue raised her head and looked at him. She felt as if he was mocking her intelligence.

Lin Xue lunged at him and grabbed his collar while pushing him away slowly, ”Yes, go and become a human. Tell your dear bro to turn you into a human. I’ll marry you even if you stay as a slave for Lu Zhen your whole life. Leave…”

”Xiao Xue? Are you alright? Who are you shouting at? Open the door. I’m breaking it now…”

The doors were knocked at that time and she heard his father’s voice.

”My father is here… leave…” Lin Xue was alarmed and she suddenly talked in a whisper, hurriedly sending away Allen.

Once, Allen jumped out of the window and flew into the sky in a daze, she wiped her tears and turned around, telling him to give her a second.

As she opened the door, she saw his father along with a couple of servants were there standing outside.

He stepped inside and looked around. ”What happened?”

”Nothing,” replied Lin Xue in a hoarse voice.

Lin Wuying then looked at her face, ”You are crying… Are you alright?”

As he touched her face, it felt hot. He then touched her forehead, ”You have a fever.” He turned his head and shouted, ”Bring the physician right now.”

As one of the servants left, Lin Wuying took her to the bed and let her sit before he kneeled to her height and asked, ”What is it that about? Did you have a nightmare?”

Lin Xue nodded thrice in silence, not intending to explain to her father.

Lin Wuying smiled as he patted her head, ”It’s probably because you holed yourself up for several days. You are probably scarred because of the Necromancer King. To defeat it, you must go out and roam.”

As Lin Xue nodded, Lin Wuying sighed as he sat down, ”Today also has been hectic for me. First Owner Lu’s accusation against the Emperor, then, the Emperor’s retirement announcement… Sigh…”

”Uncle Shang’s retirement?”

Meanwhile, Allen was flying in the air, trying to digest her questions. On the way to his home, he questioned even himself whether he could really do what a girl expects of him.

Unfortunately for him, he is an android and everything is usually based on logic. Why he stays loyal to Mark? It is because he is his creator, although the system is considered his parent.

But, why does he act too desperate to save his friendship? Is it really because she is the only friend he had or is it something else? Is there a possibility that he too likes Lin Xue the same she liked him once?

There are too many things and Allen couldn’t come to a conclusion for some reason. Maybe, he gets the answer if he is a human, thought the android.
